Programming Screens
• Continuous Rate
The desired continuous rate of
medication delivery
PCA Dose
•
The amount of drug delivered when
the patient requests a PCA dose by
either pressing the PCA dose key or
using the remote dose cord button.
The PCA dose key on the pump is
inactive when the remote dose cord
is connected to the pump
PCA Lockout
•
The minimum time that must
elapse between the time one PCA
dose starts and the time that the
next PCA dose is available
Delivery Limit
•
Restricts the amount of drug
delivered to the patient within
a specified time frame. The
programmable range is 1 hour
to 12 hours. The limit includes the
continuous rate and PCA doses, but
does not include clinician boluses
Max Doses/Hr
•
The maximum number of PCA
doses allowed in a one-hour period.
The frequency of available doses
is limited by the programmed PCA
lockout time. If the PCA Lockout is
one hour or greater, this setting will
not appear in the menu
p. 16
• KVO Rate
The KVO or "keep vein open"
rate is calculated by the pump. It
allows the delivery of a minimal
amount of drug to help maintain
catheter patency. If a continuous
rate is programmed, it will display
as 0.1 mL/hr (or the mg or mcg
equivalent). If no continuous rate
is programmed, the KVO rate will
display 0 mL/hr (or the mg or
mcg equivalent). If a delayed start
is programmed, the KVO rate is
active until the infusion begins. If a
delivery limit is programmed, the
KVO rate is active when the delivery
limit is reached
Reservoir Volume
•
The volume of fluid contained in
the reservoir. The reservoir volume
value decreases as the pump is
primed or delivers fluid
• Start Time
The time the next infusion will
begin. It is displayed only if the
delayed start is programmed.
The pump must be running on
the selected date and time in
order for the infusion to begin
